Construction is underway for a residential project in Humboldt Park that has changed hands since its building permit was issued. At 2636 West Evergreen Avenue, three new units are on the way, more than half a decade after the building they’re replacing was permitted for demolition.
A new construction permit was issued on February 14 for the property at 1801 West Grace Street in North Center, allowing a five-story, 62-unit residential building to get underway. Led by a North Carolina LLC as developer, the new homes will be nestled between the L and Metra tracks on the south side of Grace Street, next to the small shopping plaza that includes Trader Joe’s and Pet Supplies Plus on Lincoln Avenue.
Construction is ongoing for a second-floor addition to the offices of the Laborers’ Local 1001 standalone building at 323 South Ashland Avenue on the Near West Side. The long, narrow, single-story building received a number of new permits last spring and summer. Vari Architects designed the new addition, with Harbor Country Development of Burr Ridge handling general contractor duties.
Could be just a quirky coincidence, but a demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago on February 13 for the residential property at 3729 North Clifton Avenue in Wrigleyville. The owner is listed in the permit as 3739 N Clifton LLC, which is an entity for United Chicago Builders. Those house numbers, of course, are not for the same house.
Foundation work has started for a new residential building at 453 West Briar Place in the Lake View neighborhood. The five-story, six-unit condominium project is being built by Chicago’s GVP Development. They got a foundation permit back in November 2023, before receiving permission to complete the project in May of last year.
